Thats a different error then what it gives me occasionaly. Googling this error lead me to believe this is a bug in the ide driver, that my disk doesnt support some flush command. After parsing the log with simple script, these sectors seem to give the errors: 227270012 227270483 236708724 237757036 237757472 238018530 238020393 238279554 238804853 239066426 239328347 239590823 240116567 240121662 58619113 58619120 58619127 58619447 58619448 58619519 58620045 58620048 58620331 I've tried to reproduce these errors by rsyncing the whole filesystem, executing various find / commands, but nothing triggered them. The machine is primarily a web server, so my guess is they happen when apache tries to do something to the disk. The output from smartctl -a seems a bit large to include in this email.
